Prior to the actual closing day, there are several things you should do to be certain that your real estate transaction will close on time, and that everything will go smoothly.
A day or two before closing, you should review your final closing statement or HUD-1 Statement, whichever is used in your area of the country. You should go over all the calculations and be certain that you are given credits due to you from the seller or for all your deposits and any other credits due to you from the seller or for other items agreed upon between buyer and seller. Go over all the lender and title and escrow fees, to be sure they are what you had been told and that you agree to them. Check the math calculations on the closing statement. Errors do occur. |

A great sales flyer can help you sell your own house.
. . . now the bad news. A sales flyer can’t make up for a bad home presentation or a poorly orchestrated Open House . . . or any number of things that you should address before a potential buyer sets foot in your premises. In fact, even a great flyer can’t remove negative impressions that a prospect receives when visiting a poorly prepared property. So make sure that you prepare your home for showing first. |
